Punch Needle Embroidery using Valdani Variegated Perle
Crows ~ Ravens ~ Blackbirds
Honeycomb Wool in the most luscious shade...
smokey black glass beads...
and a fingernail moon.
Halloween is almost here.
We love Halloween at our house !
(It's my Husband's birthday.)
The lovely honeycomb wool came from
The Wool Studio.
The crow has been punched using
Valdani #M91 'Black Night',
giving it an iridescent shade of black,
much like a crow in the wild -
when the sun hits a crow's feathers,
you can see specks of blue and purple
throughout the feathers.
It's always fun to find wool to repurpose.
This crow sits on a background of old skirts
that have been repurposed.

Wool Applique...
I have a few Paisley wool applique kits remaining
in my Studio. Everything you need to piece together
a 12 x 12 in. block. (you provide the thread)

Onto the Crows - Ravens - Blackbirds...
If you live anywhere near Lancaster, PA...
it is no secret we have a lot of crows to deal with...
families and families of crows.
Thousands of crows migrate to Lancaster and
surrounding communities, each winter.
Lancaster is having a "Something To Crow About"
event in January / February 2016.
You may submit original artwork
with a crow, raven or blackbird as part of the theme -
to be displayed in the
'Community Crow Invitational Art Show'.

Local eateries and businesses are getting in on
this event...
Sandwiches, drinks, etc. all named for this
curious, (and intelligent), bird !
Enjoy these last few days of Autumn...
